Reading Comprehension

Read the following passage, and then answer the questions below:

I prefer bicycles to horses. It is true that a horse can go over a rough ground, jump and

ever race but a bicycle can’t. People say that the horse, being an animal, one may make a

friend of it, while no one ever thought of making friends with a bicycle. Moreover, they say

that horses can carry heavy things and travel long distances.

Besides, horses were very useful in the past when people used them for fighting their

enemies and for travelling. But, on the other hand, a horse is too expensive to buy and keep.

Moreover , horse riding is an outdoor activity . People can’t practice this sport in winter

when it is very cold and heavily raining. So, bicycles will be better for they don’t cost much

money and they don’t need food. They can also be used very easily in town or on roads in the

woods.

Water covers almost seventy one per cent of earth . It's an enormous part but only two

per cent of water is fresh. A lot of animals and plants adapted themselves to survive below or

above water. They can be very tiny like bacteria or very big like whales.

Water is the source of life on earth. We use it for farming, drinking and a lot of other

activities. It also contains many types of fish and minerals. Man's relation with water had

changed many times during the history. First, he was afraid to approach it until he learned

how to sail and navigate. Nowadays oceans, seas and even some rivers are so crowded like

our streets during rush hours.

But people damage the water life. They threw rubbish in the oceans. They also

polluted rivers and seas with chemicals and wastes from factories. That destroys the life there

by corrupting the natural home of these creatures.

A: From a, b and c choose the correct answer :

1. The best title of the passage is………………………………

a. water pollution b. water life c. oceans and seas.

2. The underlined pronoun " they" refers to …………………….

a. chemicals b. rivers c. people

3. The main idea of the second paragraph is…………………..

a. man and water b. history of water c. crowded oceans

B) Tick ( √ ) or ( x ) next to each statement:

4. Only tiny animals can survive in water. ( )
